JOLIET — If you were wondering if the day would ever come when the city of Joliet would consider approving another Jimmy John's restaurant— one with a drive-thru — Mayor Terry D'Arcy and the Joliet City Council has great news to share.

At Tuesday night's meeting, the Council is set to approve a special use permit to allow for the Jimmy John's Sandwiches drive-thru window. The new Jimmy John's is directly across the street from Plainfield South High School, along Caton Farm Road, right near Ridge Road.

The address for the new Jimmy John's is 7801 Caton Farm Road.

Jimmy John's is so confident that Joliet's Council will approve their drive-thru project that they already have all their business signs prominently displayed in multiple locations around the property at the new Lenny's Gas and Wash.
